Make sure you are describing these two Continuation transformations - The equation of the function is Y x)=1.12"(x- QB}, here {Y(x)>0} and | used the exponential function because I can see the numbers are increasing in a non-linear fashion, an exponential function would fit the scatter plot data more accurately. -The a-value of 1.12 was used to stretch the function enough to align with the numbers, as such I had to adjust the d and c values to get the function in line with the scatter plot. In the end, I believe it is fairly accurate. -I have restricted the data to {Y>O} as a negative amount of number of trees cut down is impossible. g -This is only meant to display the statistics from 1996 to 2018. With regards --"" to beforehand however, deforestation merely began to increase immensely from the late 90's into the late 2010's. Area of Trees Cut in the {Y>0} 60 Amazon forest each year (km?)
